Mikel, "coffe break" gets extended from when I want it to start til I say its over.
Actually It has almost no time invested in it either, and if I charged Nick by the hour we're 1.5 into it from riding to ready for welding, and it wouldn't even keep the lights on, so we'll eat some wings and talk about how fast it'll be.

slacker!!!
1.5 right now maybe...but when you need to extend that cradle it won't be as smooth as the gen3...but knowing you, you will probably have it done in half an hour.
...those are gonna be some fast beautiful bikes!
make sure you keep me posted about what you wanna do with that spare engine you have, because i'm still having big troubles finding one!

That's fine, a customer broke an engine during the heat races witha modified dirt track car, we changed engines in 25 minutes (during the last heat) and he went out and won the feature from the back.
I'm not saying everything is clean or ready to put back together, but the frame as pictured was stripped in that time!

I ended up welding tabs to the inside of my frame and bending a piece of aluminum around the bottom of the frame. I didn't make wings yet, but I was planning on it.

FMF Fatty arrived yesterday, LIKE NEW! no soot in it, its actually clean inside and out, no rust and even had original papers. Fits way better than the Platnum PC i'd been considering! ITs narrower on the chassis, had 1/2" more room between the rad and pipe. Clears the drain plug on the 87 style jug where the PC hit hard! and you can almost throw it at the bike and its on, no wiggling and screwing arround. I got crappy phone pics, I'll try to get better ones after lunch.

k, so some steps of the build had no pictures, workin hands and cameras dont agree. lastnight at 7 we rolled the 98 cr500 into the shop, tore it down and threw the engine into the frame we'd previously built mounts in with a junk case. Clearenced the spring, bolted it in, had some pizza, got the frame back as a roller, Did some screwing arround cleaning plastics and other steelie bits before hauling all of that project upstairs.
We have to tackle the wiring, and exhaust hangers tommorow night.
Used gen 3 125 rads on it and the '97 250 ariboot with an adaptor plate to the stubbly little f250 dual exhaust airbox.
This is how we left it at 11pm

Since you have the airbox are you going to run dual exhaust? I am just curious. It may not be a good idea but I have never saw one that has.
